Issue Notes

Contents of issue #1 of 'Gods for Hire' refer to the title of the comicbook as 'The Saturday Knights.' Book was originally advertised as 'The Saturday Knights' even on the inside house advertisements and editorial. However, a last minute trademark dispute resulted in the comic being called 'Gods for Hire.'
